python CPU load on MBPro at 99.9%

I just figured it out:

I suspected CyTV and sure enough, CyTV  uses python - but when you  
quit CyTV, it doesn't kill its python processes -  and anyway, 99% is  
a significant tax on my system -

CyTV <http://www.lucid-cake.net/cytv/index_en.html>  crashes a lot,  
so I'll probably not use it anymore - great idea, but needs a lot of  
work
